API tokens are strings used for authenticating Kintone REST API requests sent from external programs.

Specifying an API token in the "X-Cybozu-API-Token" header of your REST API request authenticates the request, and the API is executed. If you want to specify multiple API tokens, separate them using commas.​​

For details on authentication using API tokens, refer to the User authentication section in the following page:
